Xi Hu

alternative Hsi Hu

1. Synonym of West Lake.

   The modern city is not of much interest in itself, but Xi Hu — the lake around which Hangzhou curls — and its shores still offer wonderful Chinese vistas of trees, hills, flowers, old causeways over the lake, fishing boats, pavilions and pagodas.
